There's nothing conservative about the apparel in this store. The stock is roughly divided into three sections, from the demure to the devilish: men's and women's lingerie, outerwear, and mix-and-match swimsuits. Crushed velvet jumpsuits, vinyl overalls, leather teddies, bustiers and fishnet everything fill the store. More conventional items include sarongs, halter tops, and dresses in Indian...

Tips About This Business
Avoiding a Saturday is the best way to shop, although the chaos of a crowded store can really put one in the mood for a trick or treat.
The Bazaar's a popular costume party stop, with items like sexy French maid and Santa's naughty elf costumers. There's also lace, camouflage, sequins, feathers and gold lame to make your own ensemble.

Editorial Reviews from the web
In Short Since 1966, Bazaar Back Stage has offered everything necessary to turn oneself into a master of disguise.

I am an artistic director for a local theater in Georgetown and I drive to south Austin frequently to find those special items that only Bazaar has in stock. I do shop on-line but I find the prices comparable to on-line and you have that wonderful option of standing there and holding the object while new ideas whirl around your mind. The staff is wonderful and supportive without being...

The staff is what makes this place so wonderful. You get one-on-one service from a helpful and knowledgeable person without the hassle of someone trying to upsell all the time.
It's a fun place to shop!

I've had difficulty keeping track of quality suppliers of theatrical costume and makeup supplies here in Austin. Several have closed on me and ultimately lead me here. They have a good general supply of theatrical makeup as well as other accessories. Every time I go in people are very helpful. Bazaar has been around long enough that I don't expect them to close on me any time soon. It's...
